Silkeborg Bird of Prey Show and Bison Farm

The absolute best way to experience the beautiful eagles, extremely fast falcons and very agile hawks. Both entertaining and unconventional, the shows demonstrate the incredible flying and hunting instincts these birds of prey possess. Try holding a bird of prey or owl yourself. They can appear larger on the arm than when flying around in the higher air and look like grey sparrows. Afterwards, there is the opportunity to explore the 'Owl Forest' and meet the world's largest owls, which nest in the trees. Then try to find your way out of the forest through the maze of paths, not always easy.

Also meet the magnificent bison. Take the tractor-trailer ride and hear the strange and amazing story of the bison's migrations and how it was vital to the Indians' survival and eventually wiped out by the white man.

An exciting trip for both children and adults interested in birds of prey and bison in the middle of nature's own open-air scene.
